Larger quilt blocks offer the incentive that there are less to make to produce your quilt. When time is limited, this size of block is your best friend. A second feature is that you can try a more difficult design as the pieces may be many, but the sizes of the patches are easy to work with. A win-win all around.
Crossed Roads to Oklahoma - Variation
Free Quilt Block Pattern
This Crossed Roads to Oklahoma - Variation quilt block is done using only three colours, rather than the four colour version currently on this website. Each block is technically an eight patch design, but I prefer to sew the block as an uneven nine patch, just because I like things to be easier to sew, and this works better for me.
Although this block seems to be difficult, it is really not -- using only simple patches in its design. With careful stitching of your quarter inch seam allowance, this will go together in no time. You will be using only squares, rectangles, half square triangles and flying geese patches -- all ones you learn when you first start your quiltmaking journey. Enjoy!
